POSITION CLASSIFIER'S REPORT
Supervisory General Engineer, GS-80l-l4
(Chief, Project Development Division)
Region 4
Central Utah Projects Office
// October 12, 1971

_ +- Chief, Classificatton & \'t'age Branch

This position is being submitted as a new' position in lieu of the SUpel'­visory
General Engineer, GS-80l-l3, position which was vacated recently by
Hr. Edward K. Wi.scombe. This position is in accordance with the approved
organtzational plan for the Central Utah Projects Office.
There is an urgent requirement to fill the position of Chief, Project
Development Dtvision with an employee of outstanding qualifications and
personal traits. 'l'he Project Nanager is overburdened with an a1mos t un­limited
number of technical and administrative problems associated wi.th
the Central Utah Project. This Project is one of the most complex develop­ments
in the history of the Bureau. Hhen the Ute I ndtan Unit is completed,
the estimated cost of which is in excess of six hundred million dollars,
the total investment in the Project will exceed one billion dollars. 'l'he
Ute Indian Unit is the keystone feature of the Project and success in this
development is essential to the ulttmate operation of the Project.
The complexities of the Central Utah Project are most difficult to clescrlbe,
but we believe the attached copy of the Position Classifier's Report on the
Project Manager position occupied by Mr. Palmer B. DeLong provides a fairly
good overview of the Project and gives some idea of its complexittes. TJ:1is
report also outlines special problems involved in the Project, some of which
remain unsolved, but all of which are typical of the existing problems. In
addition to such problems, the Governor of Utah has req,uested the assistance
of the Central Utah Projects Office in formulating the State Water Plan for
Utah. Successful completion is vital to the relationship with the State of
Utah with regard to the West-wide Water studies. Work will include plans
and alternatives in all river basins of the State; namely, the Bear River
BaSin, Sevier River Basin, Uinta Basin, Bonneville Basin, etc.
One of the more important aspects of this position i s the requirement to
represent the Project Manager in meetings and negotiations with other Federal
agencies and with State and local authorities and groups representing a 'YTide
variety of diverse interests and viewpoints. Maintaining harmonious rela­tionships
with some 25 of these grOt~S, including the Ute Indian Triae, is
essential to the success of the Project.
The classification of this position to grade GS-14 will be consistent with
the grade of the position of Project Manager, GS-15. In our opInion, this
position is on the same level as the tvo Construction Engineer positions on
the Project, which are allocated to GS-14. In addition, the duties and
, ,
responsibilities of this position are comparable to the position of Chief',
Engineering and Project Development Division, GS-8l0-14, on the Fryingpan­Arkansas
Pro,ject in Region ~(j hmrever, we believe that there are more
unique and possibly precedent setting complications on the Central Utah
Project.
He sincerely believe that this position is properly allocable to the 08-14
level and is necessary to attract a highly qualified individual who is
capable of serving as the Project Ivlanager' s alter-ego in connection with
the planni ng acti vi ties. Accordingly, ,·re recommend your approval of this
position as Supervisory General Engineer, GS-80i-l4.

Dear Brother DeLong:
December 16, 1971
Brother Marion G. Hinckley advised me yesterday that he had
talked with you, and that you very graciously agreed to work with him
on the committee to study the whole irrigation question as it affects
the Church, and to try to determine what our position is and what we
should do to improve it to maintain water supplies, and all matters per­taining
to irrigation.
We wish to express to you our sincere and deep appreciation,
and hope that as a committee you can help guide us in whatever action
we should take to preserve our water rights and to use them properly.
Yours sincerely,
N. Eldon Tanner
